Dear Sir or Madam,

I would be grateful if you could advise me of the number of visits
Councillor's have undertaken in respect of their "Corporate
Parenting" responsibilities for young people in the welfare of
Birmingham City Council over the last five civic years?

I am NOT seeking the names of individual councillors but would ask
that you provide the number of visits undertaken on a party
political breakdown (i.e. Conservative, Labour, liberal Democrat
and Respect members of the City Council)?

Yours faithfully,

Paul Burke
